From the Maitland Mercury report:
Hundreds were missing, feared dead, while countless more were stranded on rooftops and up trees above the murky brown floodwaters that had wreaked havoc on the city.
Fifty-eight years on from the most infamous natural disaster in Maitland’s history the memories live on and will be recounted at a special event commemorating the 1955 flood.
Talks, photos and video footage will bring the horror and devastation of the flood alive at Maitland Town Hall on February 26.
